Tropical Storm Erika formed on September 1 at approximately 5 p.m AST, just northeast of the Leeward Islands. It formed from a low pressure area that had formed from a tropical wave south-southeast of Cape Verde on August 26. The wave moved across the Atlantic, and weakened, but reorganized itself and quickly skipped straight from tropical wave to tropical storm (by-passing the tropical depression state ... the second storm of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season to do so).
